In past issues of Sew Beautiful Magazine there were paper dolls as part of the center insert thingy.
Buggy likes her paper dolls with the plastic clingy clothes (kinda like colorforms) so maybe she would like these.
Here is my issue with them, the little folding tags that hold the clothes on. I remember they ALWAYS ripped off.
My solution, magnet sheets. They make thin sheets of magnet that you peel off the backing and stick on whatever you want to make into the magnet. I got mine at Michael's the last time we were in town. I know that Joann's and OTC carry it too so look around.
I peeled off the backing and stuck the dolls on. Then added a layer of clear contact paper, just for fun,and a little less wear.
Cut out around them and VOILA! Paper dolls.
The clothes come off if you shake them a lot but they work great on the fridge. Not really a Dimples friendly toy, so they stay in Buggy's room.
These could be kinda fun in the car on a cookie sheet, or a magnetic easel. Buggy played with them for hours while Dimples napped.
You really don't need pre-printed dolls, just cut some sheets from a coloring book.....Ohhh an idea just came to me! check back to see if it works!
